Accreditation in accordance with the international General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories (HRN EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard) has become a widely accepted method of quality management and objective evidence of technical competence, knowledge, and skills of testing and calibration laboratories.In 2010, the Instit
Obsessive compulsive disorder networks: positron emission tomography and neuropsychology provide new insights.
BackgroundDeep brain stimulation has shed new light on the central role of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).We explored this structure from a functional perspective, synchronizing neuroimaging and cognitive measures.Methods and findingsThis case-control cross-sectional study compared 15 OCD patients without comorbi
The Area-Latency Symbiosis: Towards Improved Serial Encryption Circuits
The bit-sliding paper of Jean et al.(CHES 2017) showed that the smallest-size circuit for SPN based block ciphers such as AES, SKINNY and PRESENT can be achieved via bit-serial implementations.Their technique decreases the bit size of the datapath and naturally leads to a significant loss in latency (as well as the maximum throughput).Their designs
A multivariable miRNA signature delineates the systemic hemodynamic impact of arteriovenous shunt placement in a pilot study
Abstract Arteriovenous (AV) fistulas for hemodialysis can lead to cardiac volume loading and increased serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels.Whether short-term AV loop placement in patients undergoing microsurgery has an impact on cardiac biomarkers and circulating microRNAs (miRNAs), potentially indicating an increased hemodynamic risk, rem
